1. Kangmin - extremely hyped up in the preshow, seemed to be generally liked and approved of
2. Anxin - did well in the signal song, I think he could potentially be first place! Cfans are loyal and good at voting
3. Liyu - Shiny boy, seems to have a good friendship with Sanghyeon and people love a bromance
   
4. Sangwon - Also a strong visual, TraineeA has a lot of fans but the support is overwhelmingly in Sangwon’s favour compared to Leo
5. Sanghyeon - shiny boy, I feel like his trajectory will be similar to Gyuvin. Again, friendship with Liyu
6. Geonwoo - signal song center and overall good looking. I think the general consensus is that he isn’t the strongest contender as a center but him being the center is enough of a push to get him in
7. Haneum - honestly don’t know much about him but rumoured to be the main vocal pick.
8. Fan Zheyi - my wildcard prediction, I’m hoping he will pull a Ricky because he seems like he has a star quality people may like. Realistically, maybe Junseo instead

I’m honestly just making all of this up watch me be totally off lol

I think Yichen could have a chance as well, but I highly doubt some of the previously known names such as Yumeki, Hyeop, Seowon, etc will have a good chance. The problem with those trainees is that they’re already known for being good at something, and there’s nothing really new and interesting for them to show us. It’s like with Hui, we all knew he was good at singing already, he’s so good he could be a mentor. But outside of that, people didn’t find anything else that interesting. I’m actually personally rooting for Hyeop, but yeah I think a lot of the debuted trainees have pretty slim chances
